rpm question

[war69]

My drive home is about 15 miles.I have a 2002 gt with 373 gears.I like to keep it in 4th gear but the rpms are at 2500,and 5th seems to low.Is this a safe range to stay at for 15 miles?

no its just motor speed. you are wasting your gas though.

Your gas mileage sucks, but it isn't hurting the motor.

What is your MPH in 4th gear at 2500 RPMs?

 

[war69]

50 mph in 4th at 2500

i drive in 5th at 45 mph all the time with stock gears. Otherwise, if you want to drive in 5th at 50 and not feel like it's too low, get 4.10s

Is there a big diff between 4.10 from 3.73 as in seat of the pants feel.

not really but there is a big difference between stock 3.27s and 4.10s.
